A chart describes tendencies in a symbolic tradition. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
About this entry
From 1942 or 1943 until sometime between 1955 and 1957, every newborn had Neptune in Libra. The exit from the sign took about twenty months, so births around the close of that span need a precise date before the sign is known.
Ptolemy's Libra belongs to Venus and carries Saturn's exaltation and the Sun's fall, a word for the sign opposite an exaltation. Alan Leo's notes from before 1917 place Neptune's work mainly on the emotional side of life, and Venus is the planet the old books connect with affection. Those two facts make a plausible line of thought, though the line is ours and the sources do not state it.
Modern popular astrology sometimes speaks of this era's children as dreamers about love and fairness. That phrase is modern, and a tally of birth years supports nothing about anyone's ideals.
